Pulumi Community

Hey everyone. I’ve been working on this project, kloudlib [1], for a while now and I thought some of the kubernetes users here would be interested! I’m hoping it might become a sort of _helm/stable_ for Pulumi users.

I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions and ideas :grinning:

<@UH9NBAJ68> this is actually super cool! very nice to see this come out of the community! cc <@UE1LN7A22> <@UB3BGTV63> <@U84SY03DF>

(I no longer work at pulumi but this is very nice)

if I may ask, <@UH9NBAJ68>, what was your motivation for making such a library?

Haha thanks! I’m the guy that contributed the cloud state backend feature and i’m a big fan of Pulumi and it’s potential.

<@UBAJ7TD53> at my work we’re constantly deploying projects for different clients, and for our k8s stacks we generally want a standard set of cluster services (nginx-ingress, grafana, etc.). typically we use helm for it via pulumi but there’s a lot of boilerplate to consume the charts.

Pulumi CustomResources were a simpler way to set everything up so i thought i could make a something for the community so others could benefit.

plus using `npm install --save @kloudlib/nginx-ingress` is a really ergonomic way to consume IaC and keep it nicely versioned

<@UH9NBAJ68> Very nice.
These `kloudlib` Pulumi resources seem to wrap around Helm charts &amp; sometimes also the `CustomResource`s from the operators (looking at 2 of them), or?
Just to get the expectations right :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah. Most k8s ready open source projects already use helm, so I’ve wrapped it with an ergonomic pulumi resource. 

Right. Just understood my wrong expectation:
I thought about Kubernetes `CustomResourceDefinition`s (CRD) at first sight. But Pulumi also has `CustomResource`s :upside_down_face:

<@UH9NBAJ68> this couldn't be better timed. I'd just wrapped ArgoCD, CertManager, and InfluxDB in functions and exposes them as a private repo in our org; happy to use kloudlib instead and contribute some apps.

Hey <@UCU9C7W73>, would you consider contributing what you've done for ArgoCD as a `kloudlib` package?

I'll take a look at that after my daughter has had breakfast :upside_down_face:

I had brief look at <https://github.com/influxdata/cd-gitops-reference-architecture/blob/master/flowchart.txt>

Thats our very cautious CD system for a database as a service product

We also have some teams doing real time CD too, where there's less risk :smiley:
